    Footprint pics by @adgpi are Himalayan black bear & cub, says @DCTaylor9 who spent 35 years tracking yeti in Nepal's Makalu-Barun national park. And maybe the effect of lack of oxygen at altitude of 8,000m. livemint.com/news/india/it-… @Nandibull @free_thinker @vinaykamat @sunitarora

    Been meaning to do this for a while. Today is as good a day as any to say that the @Mint_Lounge team is what makes this job worth it. So, it feels great when they are recognised with awards, and there have been quite a few this year. A thread.

    Thinking back to this @Mint_Lounge piece by @saliltripathi when Salman Rushdie said, "As long as writers are persecuted, they will need defending, and sadly those persecutions are not becoming fewer", and the essence of free speech is fearless disagreement lifestyle.livemint.com/news/big-story…

    That liberating moment of alarm when the 53 browser tabs you've had open forever with things to read in the cab, on the metro, in the park, while waiting for a tardy friend, close and get erased by mistake.

    It’s not just awards. Each writer is special. They keep their head down, write&edit excellent stories day after day in a world that has little value for deeply reported journalism @sarvatathagata @Shrabonti @yooday @avantikabhuyan @Jahnabee @pooja_sngh @nitinsreedhar7 @PreetiZach
